The undecapeptide substance P has a number of peripheral actions which include contraction of smooth muscle, reduction of blood pressure and stimulation of secretory tissues. Substance P also occurs in neurones in the central nervous system. It is of particular interest as a possible neurotransmitter or neuromodulator, released by primary sensory neurones.
